No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Staten Island, 2.4 miles away.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Staten Island that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Staten Island that is the part that varies.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Staten Island.

It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask for the name of whoever you spoke to, so the second call starts where the first ended.

Anything from a week to a year, depending on what is being treated and how. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.
